49ers signed LT Joe Staley to a two-year extension through 2019.

Staley signed a nine-year, $43.66 million contract in June 2009, but the 49ers have decided to reward his perennially dominant play with a two-year extension. The deal surely includes a raise on Staley's currently scheduled $2.7 million for 2014. It's a clear message to holdout RG Alex Boone, and perhaps walk-year LG Mike Iupati. CSN Bay Area reports Staley had been quietly seeking an extension, unlike Boone and Vernon Davis, who made noise all offseason. One of the game's truly elite blindside protectors, Staley hasn't missed a game since 2009. He turns 30 next month. Thu, Jul 17, 2014 05:29:00 PM

ESPN 49ers reporter Bill Williamson is "hearing whispers" the team may consider giving LT Joe Staley a new contract.

Staley is signed through 2017, but is vastly underpaid. He's graded out as a top-five offensive tackle at Pro Football Focus each of the past two seasons, checking in at No. 1 overall in 2012. Staley is currently the league's 13th-highest paid left tackle, behind Will Beatty and just ahead of Jermon Bushrod and Michael Roos. His play deserves $10 million annually. Staley turns 30 in August. Tue, Jul 8, 2014 08:55:00 AM

Staley signed a six-year extension in 2009, but he has outplayed the contract and the 49ers are looking to reward the All-Pro tackle. Including the playoffs, Staley has started 56 straight games for the 49ers at left tackle and has been to three straight Pro Bowls. Staley will be 30 when the 2014 season begins.

Smelter has been widely presumed a "redshirt" pick by the 49ers, but the team must feel good about his recovery. He underwent ACL surgery in December. Smelter is 6-foot-2 and 226 pounds, and averaged 18.9 YPR with 11 TDs on 56 career catches at Georgia Tech. While a rookie-season impact is unlikely for Smelter, the 23-year-old could emerge as Anquan Boldin's heir apparent.
